I want to use this as a sleep aid because of his chill attitude and voice, but I just end up getting too interested in the game and staying up late watching

You are a pro when you can completely know the game only from his comments.

[@jasongent4088]

"Let's just develop a knight...and undevelop the knight. I'll just redevelop the knight." Words to live by? I'm not sure. But I definitely love the way his mind works. Watching Rosen play chess is like watching Bob Ross paint. There are some (though not a lot) who may do it better, but this is so much more fun to watch, and he's not only teaching you, he really makes you believe you can do it. It's an incredible combination of skills.

[@Puschit1]

I guess it works so well because chess is a game that requires so much mental work but when we watch someone stream we typically do it in our free time and want to relax. So, his calm but analytical yet still funny style of stream is ultimateley better suited to relax than, say, Levy who is entertaining as well but so very taxing to watch.

forgot I had the playback speed on 1.25x from another video for the first few games and was amazed at how fast eric was thinking, playing and explaining at the same time haha

“No time to waste, unless it’s on a smothered mate”

[@geezgiselle]

48:48 “queen has a long distance relationship with the bishop” 😂😂😂😂😂

[@geometricart7851]

the speed at which eric saw that smothered mate while verbally giving the line made me feel like playing checkers instead. Also "Why don't top players play gambits?" because even regular masters have studied all the gambits LOL....it's one of the first things you learn.

[@comalcoc5051]

[@collinsm1687]

Am in awe of how you play these gambits, beserk and still win. I tried doing this and playing more unorthodox openings like ben finegold and boy did my rating get a beating. Am back to 1600 from almost 1900

[@_panand_]

32:50 "still playable". Had a thought about Ben Finegold saying "still theory" :)

Just watched you first game and wow that was fast, you were all fired up and ready to dominate and you made quick work of your opponent. I was very impressed. Ok now I'm going to continue to watch.

Eric I love how your narrations/commentary has improved. You've gotten me more interested in chess recently and I just order a new board and a few books to try and improve

Who else thinks Eric gives out a 'Berlin' vibe from Money Heist.

[@TheVeriOra]

You had the win in one of the games right before 20:00 instead of moving king shouldve pushed pawn to get queen. Knight couldn't stop it and neither could their King. 53. ...h2!

[@cainking7943]

after 53... h2+ i see 54. kxh2 f3 ( 54...kf3 nxf4) 55. kg1 fxe2 (any other black move runs into nd4 where the pawn will be taken) 56. kf2 ba6 57. b7 bxb7 58. kxe2 ½-½ but, after 53. f3! the knight is forced away to c3, so the variation would be 53... f3! 54. nc3 f2+ (h2+ would run into 55. kxh2 f2 56. nd1 and there's no way to save the pawn, if promotes 56...f1=queen, white would fork the king and queen, and if 56...f1=knight then the ensuing endgame would be dead drawn.) 55. kxf2 h2 and there's no way to stop the promotion.

[@raviprasad6676]

In 14.44 Black rook didn't take Bishop. Can anyone tell why? I am confused

[@tankpitvids]

Because Qf4 check would fork the rook and the king, allowing white to capture the rook on the next move because the bishop is protected by whites rook on d1. Hope that makes sense

[@prajjwalshuk1a]

26:41 why not just take e4 pawn ?

[@AdamBittner]

Cliffhanger ending. Did this end up going on KZbin?

[@oneupclock5523]

In your first game 2:20, Black could have won with Ng4 QF2 Bg2 I think (new to chess)

[@williamtorres-gv1lv]

Yes but it could’ve been stopped with be3. Most high rated games end with forced checkmates, which is where there is no way to stop a checkmate

[@rhoddryice5412]

What do you gain from berserking?

[@kevinbaker4164]

No question is too dumb (well maybe this one...) Look at how many points you can score when you are berserking. Then if you are berserking and on fire you can get 5 points. I wonder if chess engines have been programmed to choose to berserk or not. So far it seems it belongs only to humans only, making it a human-only chess tournament.
